Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And He is All-Knowing of everything)]

Allah the Exalted said:

and He is Knowing of all things.

وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

[Al-Hadid: 3] Allah is All-Knowing of every thing:

Indeed, from Allah nothing is hidden in the earth nor in the heaven.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلا فِي السَّمَاءِ

[Al-Imran: 5] If a person were to do something inside his house, in a dark room, would Allah the Exalted know his deed? Yes.
He knows, and add to that that He knows what his soul whispers,As Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said:

And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الإِنْسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ

[Qaf: 16] If you think of something, Allah knows it before it happens. Does He know the distant past? Yes.
Of every thing. Does He know the distant future? Yes.
Of every thing. That is why Musa (peace be upon him) said when Pharaoh asked him:

Then what is the case of the former generations?"

فَمَا بَالُ الْقُرُونِ الْأُولَى

[Ta-Ha: 51] meaning: What is the matter with them?Recite to us:

[Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets."

قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّي فِي كِتَابٍ لا يَضِلُّ رَبِّي وَلا يَنْسَى

[Ta-Ha: 52] (does not go astray) : meaning He does not lack knowledge, because going astray means ignorance,As Allah the Exalted said about His Prophet:

And He found you lost and guided [you],

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالاً فَهَدَى

[Al-Dhuha: 7] "straying" does not mean being an open sinner, no.
Rather, it means he was ignorant and did not know,As Allah the Exalted said:

And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration of Our command. You did not know what is the Book or [what is] faith

وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِنْ أَمْرِنَا مَا كُنْتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلا الإِيمَانُ

[Al-Shura: 52] ,And Allah the Exalted said:

And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe one with your right hand. Otherwise the falsifiers would have had [cause for] doubt.

وَمَا كُنْتَ تَتْلُو مِنْ قَبْلِهِ مِنْ كِتَابٍ وَلا تَخُطُّهُ بِيَمِينِكَ إِذاً لارْتَابَ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

[Al-Ankabut: 48] Therefore: Allah is All-Knowing of every thing.
My brother! If you know that Allah is All-Knowing of every thing, is it possible for you to commit a sin against Allah while you are hidden from people? No.
Because you know that Allah knows you,Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:

Or do they think that We hear not their secrets and their private conversations? Yes, [We do], and Our messengers are with them recording.

أَمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّا لا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُمْ بَلَى وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُونَ

[Al-Zukhruf: 80] Therefore: If you believe that Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is All-Knowing of every thing, it necessitates that you do not commit His disobedience even in secret, and that you do not leave His obedience even in secret. And Allah Mighty and Majestic said about Nuh (peace be upon him):

And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears

وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ

[Nuh: 7] so that they would not hear

and they would cover themselves with their garments

وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ

[Nuh: 7] they would cover them so that they would not see, refuge in Allah; because they hate the truth.
